A complete listing of the program follows.
Listing 1 . Source code for FirstProgram.
/* Begin block comment
This is the beginning of a block comment in Java.Everything in this block comment is for human consumption
and will be ignored by the Java compiler.File: FirstProgram.java
Copyright 2012, R.G. BaldwinThis program is designed to illustrate the most common
forms of the three pillars of procedural programming inJava code:
sequenceselection
loopThe program also illustrates calling a method, passing
a parameter to the method, and receiving a returnedvalue from the method.
Assuming that the Java Development Kit (JDK) is properlyinstalled on your computer, do the following to compile
and run this program.1. Copy this program into a file named FirstProgram.java
and store the file in a folder on your disk.2. Open a command-line window in the folder containing
the file.3. Type the following command to compile the program:
javac FirstProgram.java4.4. Type the following command to run the program:
java FirstProgramAny text that begins with // in the following program
code is a comment. The compiler will ignore everythingfrom the // to the end of the line.
The compiler also ignores blank lines.Note that this program was designed to illustrate the
concepts while being as non-cryptic as possible.The program should display the following text on the
screen except that the time will be different each timethat you run the program.
value in = 5Odd time = 1353849164875
countA = 0countA = 1
countA = 2countB = 0
countB = 1countB = 2
value out = 10End block comment ***************************************/
